Update of T9 4pc bonus on PTR

Lots of people were confused by the placeholder 4pc bonus on the T9 when the PTR first came out, but now there's a bit more clarity.

The bonus, as datamined is similar to the current T8 bonus, but spreading the damage bonus between UA & Corruption for Affliction builds.

Warlock T9 4P Bonus - Increases the damage done by your Immolate, Corruption, and Unstable Affliction spells by 10%.

It feels like they have run out of ideas a bit!

I'm liking the 2 Piece bonus for deep destruction but they could have thought of something a bit more original for the 4 piece!

Re: Update of T9 4pc bonus on PTR

Well, T9 will be a dps increase no matter what, but yeah seriously disappointed in the lack of originality. 4p T9 should be the most exclusive bonus in the game.

I'll be curious to see how T9 scales with 41/30. Both bonuses will improve 41/30, since 41/30 employs corruption. I expected 41/30 to get a slight buff from the improved pet scaling, but with T9 maybe 41/30 will be closer to destro. I would prefer destro to stay on top, I'm really enjoying it

Re: Update of T9 4pc bonus on PTR

Wait a second. So this basically means that if I have two pieces of T8, swapping one out to gain 4/4 T9 bonus but losing the T8 bonus will have essentially no set bonus effect on deep destro locks?

That's a little weird?

It's interesting how they changed unstable afflic 2/2 t8 bonus from 20% to 10% but added 10% to corruption

So, continuing with our theme of warlock set bonuses of dubious usefulness?

Don't you think that they could use all that revenue to high a couple of creative people?

Re: Update of T9 4pc bonus on PTR
